Hello Doctor.. my baby is 5 m old and still has a soft spot on the head.. till what age does it harden properly? Also he is having cold and cough.. Can I give him Xyzal M suspension?

A. do not give this medicine before 6 months of age and without medical consultation soft spot are fontanelle and usually they will close by maximum 18 months of age and only sometimes by 2 years of age. they are normally present in all infants and is important for the development growth of the brain it is important to see that the child is not suffering from calcium and vitamin d deficiency as well as the child is not having any other complaints because their deficiency is the common cause of delayed closure of fontanelle.
